I guess I stumped you guys. Here is the answer......
YIPPEEE--- W.V.U. 16, PITT 0
The sports page of the October 26, 1952 edition of the Charleston Daily Mail says it best as the West Virginia Mountaineers beat the #18 ranked Pitt Panthers 16-0. The WVU victory, a day earlier on October 25, 1952, was the Mounties first ever against a ranked opponent. West Virginia's win ended a four-game slide against Pitt, and the shutout was the Mountaineers' first since 1945.
